absolutely devastated to learn today that 123guestbook, staple of the early internet, is shutting down on July 1st (locking guestbooks on June 1st, unclear if they'll be deleted a month after that but presumably so)
If you have a 123guestbook embedded in your site, now is the time to start archiving it, if you want to keep those old guest posts! (please note that the Wayback Machine will almost certainly not preserve 123guestbooks on old archived sites, since they are externally hosted)
if anyone has a recommendation for another guestbook btw (or shoutbox I guess) I'm all ears, my criteria are basically custom colours, not shady af, and allows me to moderate it personally instead of some kind of automation. I'm also looking for a secondary one that allows nsfw in their TOS, which seems to be a big ask these days :/
